Against this backdrop, together with our partners, we are working to provide powerful everyday solutions made from renewable resources. The new cutting board consoles based on Sappi Symbio highlights the success of this approach,” said Louis Kruyshaar, Executive VP: Sappi Biotech.

“We chose Sappi’s material because the feel of the material is very appealing and we think it is important to optimise conventional materials in terms of environmental compatibility. Sappi and Kegelmann have done a very good job realizing our ideas into new products.” – Johannes Schreiter, CEO.
